Iron sharpens iron: Saint Louis charging up during bye week

By Paul Honda on September 30, 2021

The final day of September is already here, but there some new beginnings ahead. That goes for teams on a momentum wave, like Kamehameha, now the No. 1 team in the Star-Advertiser Football Top 10. It also goes for Saint Louis, which lost to Kamehameha last Friday, 23-21, and shares that No. 1 spot atop the rankings. The good news for Saint Louis (1-2, 1-1 ILH) is that the gauntlet of ILH football gives a relatively young, inexperienced roster a […]

By Paul Honda on August 15, 2021

The connection between the Tolentino family and Ohio is deepening.

By Paul Honda on June 16, 2021

It was late night and O’shen Cazimero just couldn’t fall asleep. It was fate. Good fate. “An email popped up on my phone from Gatorade. There was a banner and a video,” Cazimero said of the Hawaii Gatorade boys basketball player of the year award. Kohala won the 2019-20 Division II state championship with Cazimero as its leading scorer. There was no ’20-’21 season, however, because of the pandemic. “Winning it is a great honor because there were a lot […]

By Jerry Campany on November 9, 2020

Kahuku High and Intermediate School administration will change the school’s mascot after more than seven decades of being the Red Raiders, according to a letter written by Kahuku principal Donna Lindsey.

Saint Louis junior Taven Hathaway overpowers mainland foes

By Paul Honda on October 8, 2020

The grind has been good to Taven Hathaway. The 6-foot-1, 225-pound junior from Saint Louis has kept working, throwing, hitting, fielding since day one of the first COVID-19 lockdown on Oahu. The right-hander got some action at the Hawaii Sandlot Classic in August. Last weekend, he played with Team Hawaii in the HeadFirst Academic Showcase and Junior Fall Classic. In the Fall Classic, he was 4-for-5 at the plate with two walks and was hit by pitch once. He pitched […]

By Jerry Campany on July 1, 2020

Hawaii Prep World will highlight 10 of the best football teams in Oahu history that never earned a division, league or state crown. For a team to be on this list, it inevitably had to have suffered an upset loss that probably lived with the players and coaches for a long time. Teams are ranked by positive point differential, excluding the 2010 Kahuku and 2018 St. Francis squads that had games wiped out due to the use of an ineligible […]
